Investigating the Continuum of Connections in Landscapes

The first webinar in the YIL series this year focuses on generating a discussion on the range of connections across space, rural to urban, and across time, from young to elder generations. In this interactive webinar participants will be asked to draw on their past experiences and critical thought to brainstorm how these topics play on the landscape scape and sustainable development.

To illustrate what connection or disconnect on a landscape scale looks like a case study will be presented. We’ll hear from doctoral candidate Hannah Smith about the links between elders and youth in a First Nation community in the U.S., and how their connectedness impacts the sharing traditional knowledge, and their conservation efforts.

Communicating Across Communities

So you have a landscape solution to an issue around environmental governance, but how do you know who to consult within a community, and how to motivate them to engaged in your great idea? Communities at all levels represent stakeholders that may need to be consulted, held accountable, and otherwise engaged.

In this webinar we’ll focus on how to make your ideas resonate across communities. We’ll discuss how stakeholders can be engaged, and tricks to communicate effectively to diverse communities to convince them of your landscape solution or idea.

Critical thinking, forming ideas and presenting

Need a pathway to assess information critical, cogently form your own unique ideas, and present them in an innovative way? Join us at the fourth episode of the Youth in Landscape webinar series to learn about how to use critical thinking to engage in landscape topics actively, form solutions, and present your opinions. Engage with speakers interactive to practice these skills in order to present your ideas as clearly and as strongly as possible!

Mentor and Mentee Profile

The more I read on youth mentoring, especially YPARD’s mentoring programmes, the more I got inspired and tempted to mentor young people.
I remained restless, until I could launch myself a Rural Youth Mentoring-2017 programme at my own institute - ICAR- Indian Veterinary Research Institute - on 28th February, 2017.

Professionals want to share; youth wants learn; that’s why the platform arises. Besides being a platform, EduMala is a visionary, dynamic and innovative idea. So we encourage you to be the part of it. If you would like to know more about our program, or interested to join as mentor (for particular session), please send us an email to mentoring@edumala.com.

We all need experienced mentors for our starts up to be successful. The entrepreneurial mentoring program could not come at a better time and I consider myself extremely lucky to be selected into the program. Specifically, information on business model canvas from my mentor has been very applicable while I was drafting my poultry business model.

My expectations coming to the online mentoring program for young women entrepreneurs is to grow my business to the extent of being recognised internationally. In addition, i want to radically inspire more youths to passionately go into poultry farming as a business.

The online mentoring program for young women entrepreneurs is of great deal to me. This is because as a young entrepreneur who entered into business with no practical experience i need a lot of trainings, coaching and mentoring. The mentoring is the Perfect platform for me to grow and expand and in turn reach more and more people and help them grow and expand as well.

I would encourage my fellow youth to not only think of getting a job after graduating from school, instead they should think differently by creating jobs. Above all I would like to urge institutions and government to help youth who are showing interest in farming by providing with them financial support.

“My expectations from this program is to contribute to raising incomes of the rural woman society and to give them brilliant ideas about further impacts of their activity for developing natural resources through assisting and teaching them to develop their own projects. Under this program I would like to give them opportunity to develop their ability under my leading skills. “

“With a background in political science and international affairs, I believe I have a compelling story to young Ghanaian girls that no matter your background, you can play a significant role in the agribusiness sector.”

I believe that the online mentoring program is one of the best platform for promotion and empowerment of women who want to be self-dependent. Also, being mentored by experts who are already in the field of Agro-Business Promotion will give me support, strength, confidence and knowledge to attain the vision that our company has envisioned for a sustainable Nepal in vegetable crop production
